(CNN)Today, people in some parts of southern South America, Antarctica, and the Pacific and Southern Oceans will be able to watch the first solar eclipse of the year.

今天，在南美洲南方的部分地区，南极洲，太平洋和南大洋将能观看到今年第一次日食。

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the sun and the earth, blocking part of the sun's light from our view and casting its own shadow on the Earth.

日食发生在当月亮移动到太阳和地球的中间时，从我们的视觉中阻塞部分阳光和投射它本身的影子到地球上。

The eclipse will be visible in Chile, Argentina, most of Uruguay, western Paraguay, southwestern Bolivia, southeastern Peru, and a small area of southwestern Brazil, according to NASA, as well as the northwestern coastline of Antarctica and parts of the Atlantic, South Pacific, and Southern oceans.

据NASA表示，日食将在智利、阿根廷、乌拉圭大部分地区、巴拉圭西部、玻利维亚西南部、秘鲁东南部和巴西西南部的一小部分地区可以看到。还有南极洲西北部的海岸线，以及大西洋、南太平洋和南大洋的部分地区。

If you happen to be in one of the areas where the eclipse is visible, be careful. NASA advises that onlookers wear solar viewing or eclipse glasses -- which offer more eye protection than standard sunglasses -- to look at the eclipse.
And if you're not in the path of the eclipse, you can still check out the astronomical marvel online. Timeanddate.com will be live streaming the eclipse from its start at around 2:45 p.m. EDT to its end at 6:37 p.m. EDT.
There will be another partial solar eclipse in October, says NASA. The next eclipse will be visible in Europe, northeast Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia.

如果你恰好在一个可以看到见日食的区域，请当心。NASA建议观众佩戴太阳观察器或日食眼镜（比太阳眼镜对眼睛提供更好的保护）观看日食。如果你不在这些区域，你仍然可以在网上查看这个天文奇观。Timeanddate.com网站将从美国东部时间下午2点45分左右开始直播日食，直到6点37分结束。
NASA表示，10月份将会有另一次日偏食。下一次日食将在欧洲、非洲东北部、中东和西亚可见。
